Description

A ROC Conversation is a structured community engagement event that invites members of the community to gather and discuss the specific needs of their community, and explore practical ways of meeting those needs.

The success of a ROC conversation is founded on the neutral position taken by ROC as a facilitator and the wide cross section of community representation at each event. ROC proactively research and target specific networks of people already active in the community prior to each conversation.

A key element of a ROC conversation is that we adopt an Asset Based Community Development approach and don’t just focus on needs. We appreciate the importance of recognising and celebrating the good things already taking place in the community, and more importantly take time to thank and encourage the relevant people in attendance for the often great and undervalued work they do.

ROC Conversation brings key community contributors together to turn dreams into reality. Many agencies from across your local area will be coming together to celebrate the good work which is being done, as well as exploring new ideas.

The programme will include time for round table discussions and feedback.

These evenings have proven to be an incubator for ideas to be expressed and projects to be born. What ideas might you bring to the table?
